Contrary to popular belief, the most difficult relationship isn’t with our boss, mother-in-law, disgruntled neighbor, friend or spouse. However, if that were the case all of our relationship troubles could be solved by simply walking away. The truth is the most difficult relationship we all have is with our own ego. It is the nemesis of every serious spiritual student who desires to grow and become more conscious of their Divine nature; to live a greater empowered life.

In his book he explains that there is one common strand woven throughout the many cultures and religions he investigated.

People of all ages have ascribed to the idea that if you believe that something will happen, it will take place. It is the power of belief that causes things to happen in our lives.

So many questions can be asked and contemplated. Are some human beings robots who don't think for themselves and who have no control over their own actions? Are some human beings inherently bad?

This is amazing and so empowering because that means that we can change or recreate our beliefs about aging to our highest potential abilities.

This morning I attended a funeral for one of the employees of our mortgage company, Mike McPhee. I only knew Mike for a short period of time, but during that time Mike always impressed me.

Maybe that is why it was so difficult to understand how someone like Mike, could leave work on Friday, go skiing on the weekend, and be dead six da
